2. The ReadyLift techs began by removing the track bar from the factory bracket. Most mild lifting kits don't address the track-bar bracket nor most other suspension features that are changed with a mild lift or leveling kit. ReadyLift's kit replaces this bracket with a cast bracket that will return the track bar to factory specifications.

7. Farther up the brake line, the bracket that attaches to the frame must be removed to allow the axle to be dropped down enough to safely pull out the spring. A new bolt hole must be drilled approximately 2 inches lower to accommodate the axle being moved farther from the frame.

8. With the jackstands properly securing the vehicle by the frame, the front axle was slowly lowered to be able to pull the top of the spring out of the frame perch. The coil spring doesn't have to be fully removed. The top was pulled away from the perch, and the ReadyLift coil-spring extension was installed on top of the spring. To provide a true factory-quality ride, two polyurethane donuts were installed on the top and bottom of the spacer.

14. Nearing completion of the front suspension modifications, the final step involves installing the 2.5-inch, powdercoated steel shock extender mentioned earlier. The bracket fits right into the factory shock-mount location. The factory bolt was used to attach the shock to the extension bracket. This bracket compensates for the suspension lift and allows the truck to retain its stock shocks.

Part Two: The Rear1. For the rear, the company developed an OEM-style 2-inch rear block (complete with new U-bolts) that incorporates the factory bumpstop as part of the casting so travel to the bumpstop stays the same as stock.

2. As with most lifts, addressing the carrier bearing is important. Most kits don't include a spacer to correct pinion-angle issues that can accompany a suspension lift. The ReadyLift kit comes with a driveline bearing spacer that goes between the bearing mount and the bearing assembly to keep the driveline geometry intact.
